We ended up with two of them!
Snow is a fairly rare occurrence around these here parts--especially this much. But it was lovely to watch and enjoy while working from home. Technology has its plusses and the ability to work from home is definitely one of them.
Here are a few more pictures:
The water in the bird bath was frozen solid.
Rascal tracks in the snow. :0)
Snow on the driveway / ramp. (This was after the first wave of precip.)

I binged this and it's fabulous. Stallone is great. If you have Paramount+ and you haven't seen it -- go watch it.
From Wikipedia: Stallone portrays Dwight "the General" Manfredi, an American Mafia caporegime who has been recently released from prison in New York and is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he begins to set up a criminal organization.
What they left out is that he was in prison for twenty-five years for covering for the family he worked for and they sent him to Tulsa with nothing.
Can't wait for Season Three. :0)

I also watched this movie, and it, too, was awesome.
From Wikipedia: The film is based on the 2019 magazine article "Fighting a Two-Front War", by Kevin M. Hymel, on the contributions of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-female battalion, in World War II.
These women have to overcome all sorts of obstacles on top of the basic indignity of being dismissed because of the color of their skin.
The battalion commander, Major Charity Adams, receives orders to Europe from the Army, but doesn't get the commensurate orders from the War Department which will officially allow her to command her troops. She ends up writing her own.
And it snowballs from there. The battalion's original housing is supposedly bombed, so the commanding general picks new housing "especially for them." Which turns out to be a filthy, vermin-infested old boarding school. So before they can even start the mission they're there to complete, they have to clean the building / facilities to make them livable.
And on and on.
I highly recommend this as well.

And that's all I have for you at the moment--this post is already a fortnight late. Yikes.
So...hope all is well with you.
Take care and catch you in a couple of weeks.
